My daughter asked me to make her a loom board for weaving scarf. So, I made this long loom board for her from a left-over plywood from a previous project.

This loom is very easy to make and you can store it in a corner of your room after finishing your work. Please see the scarf woven by my daughter in the picture above using this board

Step 1: What You Need

4 feet long and 12 inches wide plywood board.You can use any left-over board lying at home

A Dremel Rotary tool or any such equipment for drilling holes

1-1/2 inch size nails about 34 pieces (Keep few extra)

Step 2: Measure and Mark

The total length of the board available with me is about 48 inches long.

After leaving one inch on both sides, mark lines on both sides so that the inside distance is 46 inches.

The width of the board is 12 inches. Mark the center on both lines earlier marked

Now we will mark the position of nails over the board.

The proposed width of the scarf is about six inches. The number of nails should be in odd numbers, so We will have 17 nails on both ends

From the center mark the nail positions at a distance of one cm between them.This means we will have 8 nails on each side of the center nail.

Using the Dremel Rotary tool, make small holes on the nail positions. These drilled holes will help us in easily driving the nails at the required location

Step 3: Drive Nails and Finish Board

Now you can easily drive the nails through the drilled holes on the board.

Make sure the nails are firmly driven into the board. Clean and finish the Long Loom Board

Step 4:

My daughter has used this board to weave a kid's scarf which you can see in the above pictures.
